It has long been argued if Steven Gerrard is indeed, the greatest midfielder ever to grace the Premier League. His records and achievements over the course of his long and illustrious career speak for themselves. Often known for his leadership qualities, Steven Gerrard has been Liverpool’s saviour on many occasions over the past 13 years of his career. His attitude towards the game and hunger for success truly make him one of the greatest players in the club’s famous history.

Since kick-starting his Liverpool career back in ’98, Steven Gerrard has played an amazing total of 556 games for his club, finding the back of the net 140 times. He was awarded MBE in 2007 and went on to add countless number of trophies and personal accolades to his name.

However, for many years Steven Gerrard remained the highlight of the team – and at times, the only one. He was often burdened by the weight of expectation but never did he surrender. Most Liverpool fans looked to him to be their savior, sometimes the players too. Gerrard was Liverpool’s only GO-TO man. He often became frustrated at the lack of big names in Liverpool’s squad of yesteryears which in turn resulted in their inability to compete at the highest levels. Gerrard always walked out onto the pitch with a level of expectancy only a few could handle, and yet he played his heart out week in, week out.

When Fernando Torres joined Liverpool in the summer of ’07, he instantly forged a threatening partnership with Steven Gerrard. With Torres’ arrival, Gerrard found in him a player who thrived on pressure and willfully shared some of his burden. Soon both players began to gel. In 08/09, Steven Gerrard scored 24 goals finishing as Liverpool’s top goal scorer. That season, the world saw a new Steven Gerrard – his attacking partnership with Torres being the prime factor.

[ad_pod id=’unruly-2′ align=’right’]

Consequently, Fernando Torres was sold in the January transfer window of 10/11 and the 50 million pounds Liverpool received were instantly invested in highly rated Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez. Moreover, FSG and Liverpool’s rich owner John Henry splashed heavy cash in the summer on other mercurial talent such as Charlie Adam, Jordan Henderson and Stewart Downing. To sum it up, Liverpool FC now has the financial backing to bring in quality players to help Steven Gerrard lift this club to dizzying heights.

To put it into perspective, Gerrard is no longer the only highlight of the team – nor is he Liverpool’s only GO-TO man. He will thrive on the huge skill capacity of Luis Suarez and his ability to bamboozle defenders at will, along with the physical presence of Andy Carroll and Stewart Downing’s ball-crossing attributes. Dirk Kuyt looks to have finally found his goal scoring boots following his move to the English Premier league from the Dutch Eredivisie after failing to make an impact on the scoring charts in the Premier League during his initial years at the club. However, Charlie Adam’s arrival at Anfield will perhaps be the signing which will benefit Gerrard the most. His vision and eye for goal is unquestionable – and as Sir Alex Ferguson said, his set-piece deliveries alone are worth 10 million pounds. Adam can fill the gaping hole left by Xabi Alonso’s departure, a feat many have failed to achieve before.

As a result, Gerrard can now play with fewer burdens on his aging shoulders. He will have the support of Downing, Kuyt and Adam in midfield and will be able to feed Suarez and Andy Carroll to devastating effect. Provided he stays fit, Gerrard will be able to play with less pressure on his mind and could very well turn out to be a high scoring season for Liverpool’s Talisman.

Hence, it is safe to say Liverpool now has a team full of match-winners – players who can share responsibilities and form a team capable of challenging for top honours. With the squad Liverpool now possess, they will pose a menacing threat to all Premier League teams and a rejuvenated Steven Gerrard could very well be the man to look out for!

Having the dubious and rather ominous honour of being bottom at Christmas, West Ham will be happy to see the back of 2010, having spent pretty much every moment of it locked in a relegation struggle. Here are five things that West Ham need to do to ensure that Premier League football will still be at Upton Park this time next year.

Avram’s got to go

Nothing against the man, but it was a flawed appointment from the start. David Gold and David Sullivan were very quick off the mark with their vocal dislike and eventual sacking of Gianfranco Zola, and he maintained West Ham’s Premier League status. Whether the Davids have stuck with Grant because he was ‘their mistake’ or not, they need to push pride to one side and make the right decision for the club, which is to get in a new manager to attempt a push off the bottom of the Premier League to safety.

Buy a Prolific Striker

Buying a striker will always be a gamble, especially for a team down the bottom of the table, but West Ham desperately need someone who can score goals regularly. When a team’s top scorer is their supposedly ‘defensive’ midfielder, questions need to be asked of the strike-force. Carlton Cole and Frederic Piquionne are both very decent at holding play up on their days, but finding the net is something of a novelty, and for all Victor Obinna’s good play and endeavour, he has similar problems. I also don’t think the recall of Freddie Sears from Scunthorpe will rectify the situation either.

Turn draws into victories

An obvious one, but having drawn 7 games so far this season, all of which could, with a bit of luck, and a bit of determination, have been turned into victories, it is imperative when West Ham get into a position to win a game, they take the opportunity. If the Hammers would have converted 3 of their 7 draws into victories, they would currently be lying in 16th place.

Keep hold of Scott Parker

Having recently been known as such things as ‘Scott Parker United’, West Ham must retain the services of their top scorer, captain and general all round deity, to stand any chance of staying up. With suitors reportedly including Spurs and Liverpool, West Ham must keep hold of Parker to ensure cohesion within their team and a driving force on the pitch.

Plan for the short-term as well as the long-term

The Davids keep talking about their long term plan for the club, which evidently includes the Olympic Stadium and Avram Grant, but if they continue to look past West Ham’s current predicament, they may damage their long-term goals by failing to address their short-term failings. They need a new manager and need to bring in signings that will do a job for the east London outfit, not necessarily just signings that will flourish as part of their long-term ideals for the club.

Robin van Persie was last week named the finest Premier League player this season by his fellow pro’s, highlighting his consistency and ability across the 2011-12 campaign. It’s hard to argue that the Dutchman has been anything short of inspirational this term, with his goal-scoring touch bagging the Gunners over 20 points alone, and dragging the North Londoner’s up the table after a disappointing opening. Yet, for me, there is one man who has outshone the Arsenal captain, and that is Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney.

The Red Devils striker has been in fine form this term, putting the issues of last season firmly in the past and concentration on what he does best, performing on the field of play. Due to van Persie’s goal-scoring flurry, the Manchester United man’s edge in front of the net has gone unnoticed, yet the fact remains that the England international has bagged 26 in the Premier League, just two fewer than his Dutch counterpart.

It’s easy to forget that for quite some time this season United have been fairly poor, with injuries damaging the depth of the squad and hampering Sir Alex Ferguson’s options. As a result Rooney has been, at times, employed in a deeper role, being asked to sit behind the front-line, and dictate play from an almost central-midfield role. Although his performances in this position were not as rampaging as that we are used to when watching ‘Wazza’ his qualities were there for all to see, as the ex-Everton man controlled the pace of the game, aiding his attacking colleagues.

[ad_pod id=’dfp-mpu’ align=’right’]

His performances, not only this season, but down the years have drawn special praise form some of the world’s top talent, with Barcelona ace Lionel Messi stating his desire to one day work with the Manchester United star:

“It would be a dream to play with Rooney if Manchester United ever came to the point where they needed to sell him,” The Argentine told the Daily Star Sunday.

“I would personally go to the Barcelona president and ask that he be signed myself. There are always a handful of players in the world at any one time who can go down in the footballing history books. At the moment, there are maybe (Cristiano) Ronaldo, Rooney, Xavi and one or two more – but I can’t think of one that plays with the desire of Rooney. We all know football players at the top level are blessed with high wages, it’s no secret. But Rooney would play for 100 euros-a-week. You can see the fire in his eyes. It’s that fire which makes him the best of the best.”

Such high praise from, arguably, one of the finest players to ever play the game displays just how talented Rooney is, and his overall contribution to whichever team is lucky enough to have him.

One of the only drawbacks to Rooney’s game has been discipline, with the 26-year-old often suffering as a result of his desire and passion on the field of play. Many have said in the past that the remove his nasty streak would be detrimental to his game and that yellow, and occasionally red, cards are just part and parcel of his style of play. This season however, has seen an air of maturity of the part of the forward, who has ditched his questionable disciplinary record. Since his red card in the Three Lions shirt, against Montenegro, Rooney has curbed his temper, very rarely getting himself on the wrong side of officials, and as a result issues regarding his temperament have been all but removed. Yet, this hasn’t hampered his style of play, as the desire and all-action approach remains as strong as ever every time he takes to the pitch.

Although Robin van Persie has been a fine performer this term, Wayne Rooney has, arguably, been better in my humble opinion. The Manchester United striker has shown further improvement, building on his already vast skill set, and aiding his club’s pursuit of the Premier League title. It seems the Englishman is moving toward the very peak of his career, and this season has shown just how special he is, and his level of performances deserve more recognition than they have received.

A staggering 123 players were released by Premier League clubs at the end of this season in order to trim their wage bills, or to make room in their 25 man squads for next season. In amongst the players released are World Cup, Premier League and FA Cup winners, players who have played for Inter Milan and Barcelona, as well as those who have valuable Champions League experience.

With the newly promoted clubs looking to add much needed Premier League experience to their squads the players won’t be short of contract offers, with many still able to offer something to the already established Premier League teams as well.

Like all football fans out there, I love making up unrealistic ‘dream teams’, and this is my ‘Out of contract All-Stars’.

It has almost been a year since Mark Hughes was sacked as manager of Manchester City. At the time his City team did not have the requisite consistency in order to give the club’s hierarchy the Champions League football it demanded.

As Hughes, now manager of Fulham, welcomes his former club to Craven Cottage, current City incumbent, Roberto Mancini, finds himself under a similar pressure that befell Hughes last year.

Although City sit fourth, three points clear of the chasing pack, Mancini must feel like his team owe him a big performance. A gritty win away from home against an obdurate Fulham outfit might be just the tonic for some fans who have begun to get on the back of the former Inter Milan boss.

City will have to wait anxiously to see if Joe Hart is fit after injuring his back on international duty and Fulham, who need points in order to steer clear of the relegation places, will hope that the week between fixtures will have given Andy Johnson enough time to recover from his first start in nearly two years.

Prediction: 0-2

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is ready to make an approach for Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho, and will put past altercations behind him to bring the Portuguese manager back to Stamford Bridge, according to The Daily Mail.

The ‘Special One’was sacked by the Russian back in 2007, but since then has gone on to massively successful periods with Inter and Real Madrid.

After Mourinho guided the Santiago Bernabeu club to the La Liga title last weekend, Abramovich is set to make the tactician his number one choice for the role of permanent manager.

Despite Roberto Di Matteo’s heroics in getting the club through to the FA Cup and Champions League finals, it is believed that the Chelsea owner wants a more established coach in the hotseat before next season.

Meanwhile, defender Branislav Ivanovic is targeting victory at Wembley on Saturday, which he feels will give the side momentum going into the Champions League final.

“It’s strange to play in the FA Cup final when it’s not the last game of the season but this is better for us because, if we win, it will give us extra confidence for Munich,” the Serb admitted.

“It will be a fight for the trophy against Liverpool but, when there is something to fight for, this group of players are going to fight until the end.”

Leeds fans do not think Caleb Ekuban is good enough for the club, after the striker revealed all on his injuries and goal drought.

Ekuban moved to Elland Road last summer from Italian side Chievo Verona. The 23 year-old had enjoyed an extremely successful loan spell at Albanian side Partizani Tirana, where he had grabbed 17 goals in league games.

The Ghanaian striker had high hopes when he joined Leeds, but told the Yorkshire Evening Post injuries “killed” his first year at the club.

“It’s been tough but it’s all about learning and growing up. I had a couple of injuries that, let’s say, killed the season for me personally, but now I’m back and I’m trying to find my rhythm,” Ekuban said.

[ad_pod ]

“I’ve had quite a lot of opportunities to play and I just hope to get the momentum going.”

The 23-year-old miss the first part of the season with a foot injury, only to break his foot almost immediately on his return to action. He returned once again in the 2-1 defeat at Sheffield Untied in February, but has failed to really cement a place since then.

“The more you play as a striker the more you feel confidence. That’s what I’m searching for and, hopefully, I can score one or two goals and have more confidence in myself. I just need to read situations better and have the chance to score.”

There’s no doubt the striker will be struggling for confidence, having started just six leagues games so far for Leeds, and still without a league goal. He nearly found the net against Reading on Saturday, and has vowed to start finding the net for his side.

Leeds fans have been discussing the quotes on Twitter, and unfortunately for Ekuban it seems most have already given up.

Some of the best Twitter reaction can be found below…

Hugo Lloris is currently the best goalkeeper in the Premier League and he deserves to play in the Champions League to test himself against the very best.

The Frenchman won the Coupe de France in 2011-12 with Lyon and he was named ‘Goalkeeper of the Year’ for three years running in Ligue 1 from 08-09/10-11, before making the move to the Premier League to join Spurs. He isn’t the most decorated goalkeeper around, but he’s seemingly better now than ever before.

The 27-year-old signed a four-year contract extension in the summer, so he must be enjoying himself at White Hart Lane – but can he win trophies and/or play in the Champions League with Spurs in that time frame?

Tottenham Hotspur are on the up and more importantly the old ‘top-four’ is dissolving. It may be harder than ever for a side which isn’t Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool, or Man United to win the title, but it seems more likely that “an outsider” can qualify for the Champions League. Spurs have by no means been as good as they can be, but they’ll be there or thereabouts come May. They’ll also very much have the chance to win either the Capital One Cup or FA Cup, and the Spurs fans may even expect a trophy this season. Tottenham are also in the Europa League, which isn’t quite as popular as the Champions League but winning it isn’t easy.

Hugo Lloris oozes class every time he walks on the pitch for club or country. He proves week-in-week-out that he is the most consistent player at Spurs and is currently the best shot-stopper in the Premier League. The statistics certainly back this up;

Comparing Lloris to a selection of the other top goalkeepers in the Premier League, the following is revealed:

Most Clean Sheets

David De Gea – 2

Hugo Lloris  –  3

Joe Hart – 2

Wojciech Szczesny – 1

Thibaut Courtois – 2

Goals Conceded

David De Gea – 10

Hugo Lloris – 7

Joe Hart – 5

Wojciech Szczesny – 9

Thibaut Courtois – 7

Saves Per Goal

David De Gea – 1.30

Hugo Lloris – 2.50

Joe Hart – 2.00

Wojciech Szczesny – 1.22

Thibaut Courtois – 1.17

Total Saves

David De Gea – 13

Hugo Lloris – 15

Joe Hart – 8

Wojciech Szczesny – 11

Thibaut Courtois – 7

Distribution Accuracy (Distribution Length – average in metres)

David De Gea – 67% (46)

Hugo Lloris – 75% (50)

Joe Hart – 67% (37)

Wojciech Szczesny – 77% (43)

Thibaut Courtois – 57% (49)

If nothing else these statistics show that Lloris is an all-round good goalkeeper. He may not have the best distribution accuracy but he is very strong and he finds his Spurs teammates 75% of the time when kicking or throwing the ball after an attack breaks down. On average his distribution distance is the longest of the five goalkeepers.

Perhaps the most important statistic among the above however is ‘saves per goal’ – Hugo Lloris really is in a league of his own with this one. Compared to the others he is far and beyond the best shotstopper. There is no statistic to show how good the saves were but from watching all five, their job is rarely easy.

The French captain and Spurs vice-captain IS the best goalkeeper in the Premier League and I hope to see him in the Champions League – the big question is, will it be with Tottenham?

Last weekend, Gareth Bale received yet another yellow card for diving rather than being awarded a penalty, despite the fact replays clearly showed the Welsh winger had been fouled. Liverpool’s Luis Suarez has shared a similar fate recently, with the Anfield club being awarded just one penalty this season.

Now, I don’t for a second believe either footballers are completely innocent individuals – Gareth Bale has a tendency to theatrically fall over as if he’s been mowed down by a hail of bullets in Normandy, losing his balance like Bamby on ice, while Suarez has a darker side to his game that often goes unpunished.

But there is little doubt that the media had a role to play in Bale’s booking against Sunderland, as notions of him being a serial diver have constantly circulated throughout the press in recent weeks. I find it bizarre how even a Welshman can be readily accused of diving but still there is little column inches dedicated to the English culprits, despite the fact Ashley Young has built a career out of anticipating a slightly over-reaching toe or a stuck out knee to claim a penalty or free kick – often already on a collision course with the ground below him before contact is even made by the opposing defender.

[post_link url=”https://www.footballfancast.com/premiership/tottenham/villas-boas-wants-danny-rose-stay,https://www.footballfancast.com/football-news/premier-league-review-2,https://www.footballfancast.com/top-10s/the-10-worst-ever-premier-league-bosses” target=”_blank” type=”tower”]

You can argue Bale brings it on himself, and there is no smoke without fire. He’s created his own reputation, and therefore allowed the media the opportunity to collectively criticise him.

But then again, you could look at the press, not just in regards to football but in many aspects of modern life, and realise they have almost full control over the information we receive and therefore the opinions we form. Even if we have an opinion that fundamentally disagrees, it is still the media’s agenda that our opinions are based upon.

For example, the England team are constantly described as underperforming or unlucky in defeat. But very rarely do the press mention that Wayne Rooney has done nothing in an England shirt since he was a teenager. Also, the simple hypothesis that the Three Lions are just not that good, in comparison to a number of the other national teams seems to wash over the heads of the columnists and paper hacks. It’s not a mere coincidence that we reach a level in every competition where it becomes narrowed down to the top teams in the tournament and we fail to make it to the next round.

Back to the diving incident – we are routinely told that players, managers and referees don’t read the papers, yet it is a well known fact that there is a copy of every tabloid and broadsheet available to read in every training ground canteen, and a referee may be a unique and quirky type of person but it is hard to believe they shut themselves off from the footballing world from Sunday morning to Friday night.

So yes, the role of the media alarms me, or rather the nature of the media. It leads to witch-hunts and the widespread of a single opinion about an issue. A recent article by Paul Hayward in the Daily Telegraph declared English football had become “toxic” and was “spinning out of control” following the rise in awareness of racism and the coin throwing incident involving Rio Ferdinand; another piece of journalistic sensationalisation that does more harm than good in resolving the issues at hand.

Secondly, the one dimensional “Hero/Villian” structure of almost every football story, including during regular match analysis, doesn’t really give us any solid information or evaluation of events, just a simplification to avoid overcomplicating an issue and provide us with conforming entertainment. When is the last time two pundits on Match of the Day fundamentally disagreed with each other? It’s hardly balanced reporting.

Anyone who’s ever written an essay will known that almost every one can be summed up with a conclusion stressing the importance of considering a number of factors. But when is the last time you read a newspaper story that had more than one line of argument. Previously, it was “Bale the diver”, and now it will be “Ref gets it wrong”. Yet it is rarely mentioned, at least by the newspapers, although TV pundits who have played the game often refer to it, that refereeing is an incredibly difficult job, and many decisions must be made in a split second at high-octane speed.

And similarly, little attention is paid to the fact that Gareth Bale runs so fast that it is impossible to tell whether he’s making a meal of it or one small clip of the heels really did send him flying into the advertising boards. Furthermore, no one has even considered that if Bale didn’t go down, he would have been through on goal, or at least in a position to square the ball across the box to a team-mate, so why would he even want to go to ground? Just because he can?

The problem occurs not only when the stories are simplified in a wholesale manner, creating a single opinion, but also when stereotypes such as “Englishmen don’t dive” and “referees are idiots” get mixed in along the way.

The fact is, controversy sells, and the English audience loves to hate – exactly why the pantomime of Big Brother was so successful. But if you want to know the truth; Lee Harvey Oswald didn’t kill JFK, red meat won’t give you bowel cancer and if Gareth Bale was born on the right side of the Bristol channel he would be “looking for a foul” at worst.

Media witch-hunting is created by misinformed, misguided, narrow minded and entertainment based reporting and it will slowly corrode and ruin the English game.

The Tottenham fans in and around the Transfer Tavern are soon hoping that new faces start to arrive at the new ground because otherwise Spurs will again be title challengers rather than true contenders. 

Having finished in the Champions League places once again, Tottenham have to ensure that the calibre of player they bring into the club is ready to be challenging for the title and Champions League success. Spurs have a great starting 11 but little in terms of depth, that’s why our punters think it’s very important that Tottenham recruit a player such as Valon Berisha, who is valued at £9 million on Transfermarkt.

Currently playing his football with Europa League semi-finalists RB Leipzig, Berisha, like the rest of his team-mates, enjoyed a successful season. The 25-year-old scored 13 goals and bagged 11 assists in all competitions during his 45 appearances, which happens to be a brilliant record for a winger.

Not only can Berisha be utilised in his favoured right-midfield position, he can also be selected to play in a role behind the striker, offering vital support to his team going forward. Tottenham don’t possess someone with that ability and buy signing Valon Berisha, although it’s not a high-profile name, could be an inspired move come the end of next season.

Especially useful for rotational and challenging the likes of Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen and Son for a space in the team, Berisha will be full of confidence after the amazing season he has just had and would be ready to show the Premier League what he is capable of.

Should Tottenham take a risk with the 25-year-old… Let us know!
